Between all the spam, i thought i post something mildly intersting, while i'm killing time at ***** uni. :/


For the record; i don not subscribe or unsubcribe this pov...just a good quote (Satis won't like it, Pig will ;) )


Quote:
Weapons are the tools of violence;
all decent men detest them.


Weapons are the tools of fear;
a decent man will avoid them
except in the direst necessity
and, if compelled, will use them
only with the utmost restraint.



On the whole, Lao Tzu is interesting. You should give it a read if you can..this is just an excerpt where i got it from, but blah:

What is Taoism?

As for quotes, try and figure out who this is:

"Dont think, feel. It is like a finger pointing to the moon. Dont concentrate on the finger, or you will miss out on all the heavenly glory."

Since we're talking about far eastern thought, I personally prefer Sun Tzu. :)

"If your enemy is secure at all points, be prepared for him. If he is in superior strength, evade him. If your opponent is tempermental, seek to irritate him. Pretend to be weak, that he may grow arrogant. If he is taking his ease, give him no rest. If his forces are united, separate them. If sovereign and subject are in accord, put division between them. Attack him where he is unprepared, appear where you are not expected."

"The art of using troops is this:
......When ten to the enemy's one, surround him;
......When five times his strength, attack him;
......If double his strength, divide him;
......If equally matched you may engage him;
......If weaker numerically, be capable of withdrawing;
......And if in all respects unequal, be capable of eluding him,
..........for a small force is but booty for one more powerful."

and finally, for you pacificts:

"The best victory is when the opponent surrenders of its own accord before there are any actual hostilities...It is best to win without fighting."
